3rd  Dulwich Beer and Cider Festival 2026

The branch beer festival was held at Dulwich Hamlet FC between 21st to 23rd May 2026.

A huge thanks to everyone who attended and/or volunteered at this year’s festival which was our biggest and best (and sunniest!) yet.

We welcomed over 1,600 lovely visitors over the 3 days – an amazing 28% more than in 2025!

All 60 casks of beer sold out along with all the cider & perry, and the bottles/cans did a roaring trade.

This year we trialled using Real Ale Finder to maintain an online list of currently available beers & ciders. This clearly proved popular with 1,000+ views and so will definitely be repeated at our future festivals.

Thanks to the generosity of our visitors, we raised a fantastic £231 for St Christopher’s Hospice.

And finally, with thanks to Phil for counting the votes, the results are:

Beer of the Festival

1. Mount St Bernard – Tynt Meadow
2. Saltaire – Montezuma Triple Choc
3. Moorhouses – Pendle Witches Brew

Cider/Perry of the Festival

1. Gregg’s Pitt
2= Cranborne Chase

London  Regional Cider Festival 2026

A one day cider festival was held on 25th April 2026 at Rocket Van Studios, Walworth, with a selection of up to 35 ciders and perries consumed this year.

It was great to see so many visitors from Greater London and beyond.

In addition to raising funds to support real cider, perry and beer we raised nearly £90 for St Christopher’s Hospice helping people in much of South East London.

Socials

We organise social events both within the branch area and beyond. We try to make these a mix of both
